The Current Patent Practice document (which for all practical
purposes has replaced the IPR section of the W3C Process
Document):
http://www.w3.org/TR/patent-practice
has a bug/typo in item #2 of the RAND License section. It says:
[[
shall extend to all Essential Claims owned or controlled by the
licensor and its Affiliates (except as described in section 8.2
concerning licenses relating to Contributions);
]]
yet the document does not have a section 8.2.
Since this item is mandatory (via "shall"), I'd like to know - what
exceptions are permitted?
